Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches

This side dish kind of stole the show at dinner the other night. :) I'm thinking it should replace the nasty sweet potato casserole dish at Thanksgiving in so many homes (sorry I'm not a fan of the casserole!) Super yummy and the peach and sweet potato flavors were great together! Definitely going to be a regular side dish around here!

2 medium peaches, pitted and sliced into 4 wedges each (I only had canned I just made sure I strained them really well)

1 medium sweet onion, peeled and quartered (I used about 1/2 an onion)

Preheat oven to 450. In a small bowl, whisk the coconut oil, syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Put the potato and peaches in 2 separate bowls. Pour three-quarters of the syrup mixture over the sweet potato and one-quarter over the peaches and toss. Spread the potato in an even layer in a large baking dish and roast for 10 minutes. Toss and roast for 5 more minutes. Add the onion and roast for 15 minutes. Toss the potato and onion, add the peaches in an even layer, and roast 10 minutes, or until the potato and onion are fork tender and the peaches have caramelized.

We've been overloaded with sweet potatoes around here, but these are different enough, that I just might brave them again! (You're right about these being better for T-Day than that horrible marshmallow hotdish.)

About Nicole

I am a lucky wife of 12 years, and I am a mother of four. My oldest son was severely allergic to dairy for about 7 years, but after a few years of careful experimentation alongside his allergist, he can now tolerate most dairy products. (He's 9 now)

Even though he does tolerate dairy now, I'm still always looking for great dairy free recipes to share because I know there are some readers out there that appreciate this blog! If you want to ask me any questions about our story, or about any of my recipes- feel free to email me at kevinnicoleandkids@gmail.com

Sidenote:

The recipes posted on this blog are dairy-free, but please double check the ingredients on your labels keeping in mind that every brand is different.

I have had a lot of comments about why I say to add cheese (optional) and things like that when this is a dairy free blog. Well, I know a lot of readers can tolerate some forms of dairy, and so that's why I do say you can add butter, cheese, and things like that. BUT all of these recipes have been tested without dairy and turned out wonderful. So that's why I might say (or milk) (or butter) in recipes....that's for those of you who can tolerate those ingredients. Obviously if you are allergic or can't tolerate dairy ingredients- don't add them. Use what you know is safe for you! ;)
